Tool Tour

It’s been two whole years since Tool last played in Australia (and nearly eight since they released a new album), but this summer they’re heading down under for eight big shows across the outback. With dates starting on April 27 and running through May 9, Tool has visits planned to Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane, and Auckland–each at big arena venues perfect for the heavy duty performances they’ve been known to put on. For Tool fans not living on the continent, the band will also be opening for Black Sabbath in Japan at Ozzfest 2013.

Concert goers in Australia can also look forward to the recently announced VIP packages that will be available for each of the shows. Starting April 12, you can buy access to attend the band’s sound check before the show, a question and answer session with Tool guitarist Adam Jones, early access to the concert venue, and to top it all off, a merch pack filled with goodies like a VIP pass, band t-shirt, and poster. If you are lucky enough to snag VIP status, do us a favor and ask about this much-rumored new album release for 2013. Up to this point the band has been mum, but who knows, you might just coax it out of them while they’re signing your t-shirt.
